Hi,

Whilst browsing through an AdWords Search Query report, I stumbled upon long keywords, almost impossible to be human. I did a search on them, and these long keywords are actually categories within the Kijiji site.

And yes, my ad is showing up within the sponsored links section on Kijiji. My campaign isn't opted in for the content network, so, it's either a bug, or Kijiji is counted as within the search network (which frightens me a little bit, what site is next?).

Anybody else seeing this as well?

have you gone to the site and seen your ads? are they content or search?

I've been on the site, and I have seen the ad. I double checked that the content network was disabled, and it is.

Your ad could very easily be showing in relation to a search on this site. I found a search function, but have not been able to find Google syle ads?

Add this site to your site exclusion list just to make sure they dont show your ad.

PS: this site may not match your needs, but it doesnt seem all that bad.

My Google Rep was quite surprised about this, I'm awaiting his feedback. I'll keep you informed.

Hi,

My Google rep confirmed that Kijiji is counted within the Search network, not the Content network, apparently bij using a Custom Search Engine.
I'm pretty sure though that I triggered the ad while browsing the Kijiji site, not searching. Although the site is sending in qualitative visits, I wonder what other websites are counted within the Search Network.

getting that list is nearly as impossible as getting the alporithm <not a typo>
